Maybe I Can (v2)

[INTRO]

I don't know why I get so nervous

Every time you walk my way

I've got a hundred things to tell you

Then forget them all when you say my name

[VERSE 1]

I've liked you for a while now

But I've never said a word

I keep thinking I'm not good enough

And honestly, it kind of hurts

You laugh with everybody

And I wonder if you'd laugh with me

I keep making up excuses

For why you shouldn't notice me

[PRE-CHORUS]

Maybe I'm overthinking

Maybe I'm scared to find out

Maybe if I just stopped running

I'd know what this is about

[CHORUS]

I don't know if I can do this

I don't know if I'm enough

Every time I get close to you

I start thinking way too much

But maybe I should try it

Maybe I should take the chance

I've spent so long telling myself no

Maybe I can

[VERSE 2]

Yesterday you sat beside me

And we talked until the bell

I kept thinking, "Don't mess this up"

But somehow I did pretty well

You asked me what I was doing

And I told you what was on my mind

For once I didn't plan my answers

I just let myself be myself

And maybe that's the whole thing

Maybe I don't need to change

Maybe you don't need somebody perfect

Maybe you just like me this way

[PRE-CHORUS]

I'm still overthinking

Yeah, I probably always will

But I'm tired of standing still

Waiting for some kind of sign

[CHORUS]

I don't know if I can do this

But I'm starting to believe

Maybe all the things I hate about myself

Aren't what you see in me

And maybe I should try it

Maybe I should take the chance

I've spent so long telling myself no

Maybe I can

[BRIDGE]

So if I get nervous, I'll get nervous

If I stumble, that's alright

I don't have to have the answers

I just have to show up tonight

For once I'm not gonna run

For once I'm gonna let it happen

Maybe she won't feel the same

But at least I'll know I had the courage to ask

[FINAL CHORUS]

I think I can do this

I think I'm finally enough

I don't have to be somebody else

I don't have to be somebody else

Just to make somebody love me

And maybe this is crazy

Maybe this won't go as plan
